在两个旨在调查咬人和跳台行为的实验中，36只野生挪威大鼠和36只家养挪威大鼠进行了比较。家鼠比野生鼠表现出更多的“自发”啃食行为。这两只股票都增加了啃食活动，以进入一条狭窄的隧道。当被关在隧道里时，野鼠更有可能咬回霍恩笼子。跳台几乎仅限于野生动物。这些发现从驯化及其对挪威大鼠行为的影响的角度进行了讨论。
Thirty-six wild and 36 domestic Norway rats were compared in two experiments that were designed to investigate behaviors associated with gnawing and platform jumping. Domestic rats exhibited more “spontaneous” gnawing than their wild counterparts. Both stocks increased gnawing activity to gain access to a narrow tunnel. When confined in the tunnel, wild rats were more likely to gnaw their way back to the horne cage. Platform jumping was confined almost exclusively to the wild stock. These findings are discussed in terms of domestication and its effect on the behavior of the Norway rat.
